Chapter 230 – The Marquis’ Advise (1)
After she had given Lu Fang the rose water, Ye Zhen did not imdiately return to the academy. Rather, she instructed Dai i to watch over the second miss. Once news of her second sister visiting Liu Shi with to bottles of rose water reached her ears, she broke into a leisurely smile.
“All right, I have to go.” Ye Zhen chirped looking at her brother.
Lu Xiangzhi wanted to send her off to the academy but flatly refused.
“Elder Brother, I’m not a child. Don’t you have Quan Fu to send ?” Ye Zhen said with a smile, pushed Lu Xiangzhi back, and continued, “You better return and read your books. Did Master Xu not give you a lot of howork?”
Lu Xiangzhi smiled at how much his sister had changed. Inwardly, he was prouder than ever. “Well, then, be careful.”
Ye Zhen waved goodbye and got on the carriage. A lot had happened these last few days, she needed ti to settle her emotions. If only they were that easy to settle.
Trying to take her mind off things, she looked through the window. Glimpsing the srizing scene of a sea of people bustling on the streets, inexplicably her chest tightened. As she placed her hand on her heart in a bid to soothe its rapid beating, a thought inadvertently surfaced in her mind.
She was once Ye Zhen, the noblest woman in this capital. These were the very people who had admired and looked up to her. Then, she had died but given a second chance. Not just that, she was reborn two years back in ti even. Such a phenonon was beyond all imagination not to ntion logic. She would herself have not believed it had she not been the recipient. How then would she explain, let alone convince the people of Jinkou City? What thod would she have to use to prove that she, Ye Zhen, is now reborn as her twin- Yaoyao. Bizarre as it was, she couldn’t begin to imagine the repercussions it would have. How would people react? How would it affect them? Would it even matter...?
She sighed. Although this was a huge problem, it was one whose ti had yet to arrive. She was getting ahead of herself. Right now, her focus should be elsewhere. In order to take the big leap later, she had to ensure her foundation was strong. And for that, she needed her father’s confidants.
If she could convince those confidants in Jinkou City, then she could start to do what she wanted to do. But all this needed ti. And unfortunately, it was the very thing she was lacking.
As much as she wanted to head to Qianjin right now and get things started, she knew better. Going there and back to the academy, demanded a lot of ti. Plus, the matter she wanted to deal with was not sothing to be finished in a jiffy. So right now, the best recourse was to put this on hold until she had the opportunity to sneak out again.

Arriving at the academy, Ye Zhen saw a carriage outside the gate. She wondered who was still outside the academy at this ti. When she was about to enter the gate, she was stopped by a voice.
“Yaoyao.”
Tang Zhen had been waiting for about half an hour now, and finally, the purpose of his visit had arrived. His tall and upright figure soon stepped erged through the carriage.
“Marquis Tang?” Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise.
What is Tang Zhen doing here?
There are tis when the body reacts faster than the mind. And one such ti was now.
A pair of burning orbs fixated on the beautiful young lady standing by the gate. It was only natural for they hadn’t glimpsed this beauty for a long ti now. While the heart raced, the mind slowly regained its senses.
As if it seed she felt touched by his visit, he smiled. “Did I surprise you?”
“Have you co to see ?” Ye Zhen asked, puzzled as to why Tang Zhen thought so.
“Yaoyao, I have sothing to ask you,” Tang Zhen said in a low voice.
The last ti the two had t, it had ended with a heated argunt. Ye Zhen had lost her cool and reprimanded Tang Zhen for his prejudice about the late wang fei. After that, the two had not had a single opportunity to happen upon each other.
Needless to say, Ye Zhen had reined in her emotions, except for the ti before Mo Rongzhan, she was resolving to hold her cool. Besides, there was no point in developing animosity with the man before her. He was after all an influential personage.
Ye Zhen took a look at him, turned her head, and said to Quan Fu, “You can go now. We have already arrived at the academy.”
A reluctant Quan Fu looked at Tang Zhen. “Third Miss, I shall leave later.”
“All right.” Ye Zhen knew that he was just worried, not knowing why Tang Zhen ca to see her. She smiled and stepped aside to talk with Tang Zhen, she sohow had and inclination as to why he was here.
“Marquis Tang, you’ve co to see here at the academy at this ti. What is the matter?” Still smiling, Ye Zhen asked.
“It’s nothing serious. Do not worry,” Tang Zhen said hastily, looking at her jade-like face with eyes downcast.
There was a mont of silence, before the man, taking a deep breath spoke. “Yaoyao, what you said to last ti about the Ye Family... Did you say anything about it elsewhere?”
Indeed as expected it really is related to the Ye Family! Did Mo Rongzhan order Tang Zhen to investigate ?
“Why do you ask?” Ye Zhen frowned and asked lightly.
“In that case, you can only talk about it in front of in the future. Do not talk about the matter just about anywhere. What if soone hears you? If anyone out there wishes to bring you trouble, you could be punished when they spin a tale.” Tang Zhen concernedly warned in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly. “Do you an even if everyone in the Ye Family is dead, others still cannot ntion them? How heinous are they to get those who ntion them punished?”
